Working Principle
The working principle of TPH technology mainly relies on the characteristics of heat-sensitive materials. A transparent film is overlaid on a light-colored material (usually paper). When the film is heated to a certain temperature, a chemical reaction occurs, causing the film's color to change (usually to a darker color, such as black or blue). This process is achieved by selectively heating specific locations of the thermal paper using small electronic heaters on the print head, thus producing graphics on the thermal paper that correspond to the heating elements.
Technical Features
- High Precision:By precisely controlling the heating points of the print head, TPH technology can produce high-resolution images and text on thermal paper.
- High Efficiency:The heating process can be completed very quickly, enabling high-speed printing. For example, at an appropriate high temperature, the chemical reaction can be completed within a few microseconds.
- Low Energy Consumption:Compared to traditional printing technologies, TPH technology typically has lower energy consumption.
- Easy Maintenance:Due to the simple structure of the print head, maintenance is also relatively easy.
- Environmentally Friendly:Since it does not require the use of consumables such as ink or carbon ribbons, TPH technology is more environmentally friendly.
Applications
TPH technology is widely used in various situations requiring fast, efficient, and low-cost printing, such as in the retail, medical, and logistics industries. In addition, due to its high precision and environmentally friendly characteristics, TPH technology is also gradually being applied in color photo printing and plate making.
Technical Parameters
Although the specific technical parameters will vary depending on the printer Model and manufacturer, generally speaking, TPH technology can achieve the following performance indicators:
- Resolution:Can typically reach 300dpi (dots per inch) or higher.
- Printing Speed:The printing speed will vary depending on the printer Model and paper Size, but generally, a fast printing speed can be achieved.
- Energy Consumption:Compared to traditional printing technologies, TPH technology has lower energy consumption and is more energy-efficient.
Summary
As a printing technology based on thermal principles, TPH technology, with its high precision, high efficiency, low energy consumption, easy maintenance, and environmentally friendly characteristics, has been widely applied in various fields. With continuous technological advancements and market expansion, TPH technology will play an even more important role in the future.
